Wednesday, February 20th (5:30) Forks, Washington

"Hey, Bella, do you want to come over to hang out tonight?" Mike had called me and wanted me to come somewhere with him, along with the people I called my friends. I wasn't sure I wanted to leave my house though.

"Please, Bella? We are all meeting at my house at 6:30 and then we will go to the movies, and come back to my house to play some board games. I was really hoping you would come," Mike wasn't that convincing but I didn't want to disappoint all my other friends. I guess I could manage one night of what he called 'fun.'

"Fine, I'll come, but I need to finish my homework, so no meeting up tomorrow," I was still aching from Edward leaving. It had been five months since he left, and now I was being forced to start up another year; a year that wasn't with the love of my life. February could be so cold, in more ways than one.

"Great! I'll see you at 6:30 then?" I knew I would regret this later, but it would make Charlie happy that I was finally getting out with some friends.

"Yes, Mike," I sighed, hung up the phone, and went upstairs to organize my homework, that I would have to do the next day. Wednesdays were usually my workday when things were due on Friday, but I decided to give it all a break, and finish Thursday.

I still had to figure out what I was going to make my dad, Charlie, for dinner. I decided to call him and ask him if he could just order pizza.

While the phone was ringing, I went through a list in my head of all the pizza restaurants in town. Finally, after five rings someone picked up. "Hello? Forks police station. How can we help you?"

"Hi, it's Bella. Is my dad there?"

"Oh! Hey, Bella! Sure, here's your dad," There was a scratching noise before I heard my dad's worried voice.

"Bella, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Silly Charlie. He always thought that whenever I called him something had to be wrong. Couldn't a daughter call her dad just to say hi?

"Dad, calm down. Nothing is wrong. I'm going out with some friends tonight and I was wondering if you could just order pizza for dinner. I'm sorry that I'm not making something but I don't think I have enough time to whip up a whole meal."

"Bells, what do you think I have been doing all these years without you? Of course I can order pizza. The pizza is a man's best friend. I'm just glad that you are finally getting out with some friends," Charlie was never a good cook, so he always ordered take-out, until I moved in.

"Thanks, Dad. I will probably be gone by the time you get home. I'm leaving around 6:15 so I can get over to Mike's by 6:30."

Charlie suddenly became serious, "You're not going over there alone are you? Other people will be there besides you and Mike, right?" Charlie worried too much. I would never, ever go over to Mike's house alone.

"I already told you, Dad. I am going out with friends." I emphasized the 's' in friends. "I think it's Jessica, Angela, Mike, and Ben. We are all meeting at Mike's, and then we are going to go catch a movie. Afterwards, we are going to hang out at Mike's for a while. I won't be alone."

"Okay, Bells. Have fun with your friends."

"I hope I will. I love you Dad. Bye," I hung up the phone and walked back downstairs to watch television until it was time to leave. I discovered that there was nothing interesting on so I decided to read. I grabbed my copy of Wuthering Heights off of the side table next to the couch and started to read.

By the time I looked up, it was already 6:20. "Shoot," I muttered out loud to myself. I stood up from the couch and ran over to the kitchen table to grab my keys and some money for the movie.

I hopped into my loud, clunky truck after locking the door and I carefully drove out of the driveway.

I pulled my phone out of the side pocket of my jeans and called Mike's number.

"Hello?" Mike's voice murmured into the phone.

"Hey, Mike. It's Bella. I'm going to be a little late. I hope you won't mind."

He instantly perked up. "No, that's fine. The others are on their way. They are grabbing some snacks, and games for after the movie."

"Okay, sounds great. I'll see you soon. Bye." I snapped my phone closed and concentrated on the road ahead of me.

About five minutes later, I arrived at Mike's house. I found it strange that the rest of my friends still weren't there yet.

After stumbling out of my truck and walking to the front door, I rang the doorbell. "Coming!" Mike yelled from somewhere inside his house. Mike walked down the hallway that lead to the foyer and opened the door.

"Hey, Bella! Come on in," he greeted me, waving his hand towards the inside of his house. I walked in and followed Mike to his green themed living room.

"Do you want to watch some TV until the others get here?"

"Sure." I sat down on the couch turned the television on. Mike decided to sit awfully close to me and I wasn't very comfortable with him being in my personal space. He then decided to be daring and put his arm around my shoulders. I pushed him away with my hands but he just went back to his previous position.

"Mike, could you get off of me?" He was really starting to irritate me.

"Why, Bella? You know you want me." Did he just say what I think he said?

"Sorry to burst your bubble, Mike, but no, I don't want you." I shoved at him, but he only came back. This time he put his hand around my waist.

"Quit playing games, Bella. I know you want me."

"Get the hell off me, Mike!" Where were his parents? They were almost always at the house when Mike had friends over.

I could see Mike growing madder every second. He had a frown on his face, and he was starting to look slightly red, but it wasn't a blush; he was frustrated with me.

Mike grabbed either side of my waist and threw me on the carpet in front of the couch. He started to kiss me furiously. I slapped him continuously atop his head but to no avail.

He finally came up for air and I started screeching at him, "Mike, you pervert! Get off of me!"

"Bitch! I'm going to have you whether you like it or not!" he yelled back at me.

Then I realized I couldn't win. I wouldn't be able to if my other friends weren't coming to his house. I should have called Jessica before I came over to make sure she had planned on joining the night's activities. Mike could easily catch up to me if I tried to run out to my truck. He would have just pulled me back inside his house.

I decided to turn my head away from him, so he couldn't kiss me as easily. My attempts were in vain, for he just shoved my face back around so he could attack my swollen lips again.

"As I was going to say, Bella, before I was so rudely interrupted; we can do this the easy way or the hard way. It's your choice. I don't mind either way, as long as I get what I want."

"You have a sick mind, Mike!"

"I guess we are doing things the hard way, then." He slapped my face after he said that. My hand flew up to my left check which was burning from the aftershock. Tears came to my eyes, and I let them shed. I didn't care about my dignity anymore. It didn't matter if he was going to violate me like this. I wanted –no, needed- Edward. He would have been able to save me. But, there was no preventing this fate; he was never going to return to me.

I looked away from him. My eyes fixed on a crayon marking on the white wall while I let my tears fall down my face.

Mike proceeded to kiss down my collarbone and to my chest. Apparently he wasn't satisfied yet, so he ripped my shirt open and started to pull my skirt off. I just lay there like a stone statue, not giving him any pleasure in what he was doing to me.

Out of my corner of my eye, I saw him pull his shirt off and throw it to the floor above my head. He quickly discarded his pants and I saw that he didn't have anything on under them.

The realization that this was actually happening suddenly hit me. My head started to spin and I blacked out.

I awoke to a nude Mike sleeping next to me. I grimaced at his now naked body. I wanted to kill him; torture him like he had me. He would be sorry that he ever messed with me. I couldn't bring myself to do it though. I wouldn't allow myself to stoop down to his level.

I tried to sit up but I was too sore. I sunk back down to the floor. Determination came upon me, and tried sitting up again, wincing at the pain it caused me. I looked down at my body and gasped. My whole body was splotched with bruises of all colors and sizes. I covered my mouth to hold back a scream of fury.

My clothes were sprawled out across the floor, so I took the chance to get changed before Mike woke up. I quickly walked to the front door and opened it. It was dark outside, so it must have been late. I checked my phone to see the time. It said 11:00 in blue numbers across the front screen. Charlie was going to be so worried about me.

As I was walking to my car, I remembered what Mike had told me at school. He said his parents were leaving to go on a cruise that weekend and wouldn't be home for a whole week. How could I have been so stupid? Why didn't I put the pieces together?

I sluggishly climbed into my car and turned it on. Mike lived down a turn-off road right before you get to La Push, so I knew how to get home.

I started to think about the events that had occurred that night. How I had been so easily fooled into that little trap which had turned into such a big mess. I couldn't take the pain of the memories and thoughts that were swarming in my head anymore. I pulled off to the side of the road, at the end of the turn-off and got out.

I don't know why but I started to walk towards the forest. It seemed welcoming, but before I could reach it, I collapsed in pain. I shriveled up into a ball, and hugged my stomach, silently screaming out in agony.

I just lay there for God only knows how long until someone finally found me.

"Bella?" Did I want to be found? Maybe I should have tried to go further up into the woods so no one would ever find me.

I whimpered in reply to Jacob.

"Oh my God, Bella! What happened to you?" Jacob's tone of voice was downright worried sick.

I tried to move but it was too painful to shift around. I gasped and clutched my hands back around my waist.

"Bella, I need to get you back to my house. Can I pick you up?" I simply nodded and he picked me up gently. It surprised me how much warmer he felt than before. It might have been because I had been lying out in the cold night air.

Before I knew it, we were at his house. Jacob opened the door to his house, miraculously holding onto me with only one hand. Billy must have been in bed because I didn't hear his low, gruff voice or the squeak of his wheelchair.

Jacob set me down on the bed in his room and I returned to my previous position: curled up in a ball with my hands grasping my abdomen.

"Bella, what happened to you?" I just shook my head. I wasn't ready to answer his questions, much less talk about what Mike had done to me.

"Will you tell me in the morning?" I nodded my head, wincing when it started throbbing.

"Feel better. I'm going to go get your truck and drive it back to my house."

I didn't hear if he said anything else because I fell asleep, too exhausted to keep my eyes open anymore.

APOV Wednesday, February 20th (9:00 PM) Ashland, Oregon

I was mindlessly playing cards with Emmet and Jasper when I suddenly had a vision.

Bella was lying on the floor naked. Her eyes were closed and she was screaming in pain. There was a boy spread out on top of her. He appeared to be violently raping her.

I gasped. "Oh my God! Bella!" Jasper was by my side immediately, holding onto my shoulders.

"What did you see, Alice?" His voice was filled with worry for Bella, and he was sending out a heavy wave of distress throughout the whole house.

"Bella," I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Jasper was now kneeling in front of the chair I was sitting in. "What about Bella? Alice, please tell me what happened."

"Come on, Alice. That's my sister you are talking about! Tell us!" Emmett was practically growling out his response.

Esme ran down the stairs of our little house in Oregon, along with Rosalie. I was surprised to see worry spread over Rosalie's pale face.

I finally found the strength to tell everyone about the vision. "Bella. Bella was raped," I stuttered on the last word.

Rosalie gasped. She had been through the same thing, but she hadn't been able to survive as a human after her attack.

"Is she okay?" Esme's troubled voice interrupted the tense silence. She was standing next to Carlisle, who was holding her by the waist, looking equally distraught.

"I don't know. Her future just disappeared. I can't see anything. We need to go to Forks, now!"

"I'll call Edward." Rosalie started to reach for her cell phone but I stopped her.

"No, Rose. Let me call him. I can explain to him exactly what happened," I said, grabbing my cell phone out of the back pocket of my jeans and dialing his number.

I got an answering machine, but I wasn't giving up. I called again and again until he finally picked up.

"What do you want, Alice?"

"It's Bella. She's hurt. We are all leaving to go back to Forks whether you like it or not." Edward wasn't going to stop me from going to my best friend this time and I decided to let the demanding Alice out of her shell.

I heard a growl through the phone, "What happened to her, Alice?"

"She was raped." Edward began another round of snarling over the phone.

"By whom?"

"I don't know, Edward. That is why we are leaving to go see her. I can't see her future and I need to know what has happened to her. Don't go off and do something foolish. I need you to meet us there. Where are you?"

"I am in Redding, California."

"We are in Ashland, Oregon. Can you get to Forks by morning?"

"I think so. I hope she is okay."

"We all do, Edward. Please hurry. We will meet you there by sunrise."

"Okay, I'll see you soon."

I snapped my phone shut. "Grab a few sets of clothes. We won't have time to take the car, so we will have to carry a few small bags and run there."

Everyone dashed upstairs to grab their essentials. I ran to my room and snatched a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. It was something I would never be seen in on a regular day, but it didn't matter at the present time. I threw everything into a large purse and darted downstairs.

Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Carlisle, and Esme were all waiting by the door.

"Let's go," I said. I opened the door, and we bolted out into the cold night air.

I could only hope that Bella was safe and out of harm's reach.
